Yes.
Just don't take it to AMMCO, they will take apart the whole transmission, and then sell you a rebuild if you have the money to get the truck back.
Try to find a smaller independent shop. They don't have to completely remove the transmission, only slide it back about 12" to get to the bolts and drop it out from the bell housing.
You might even check with your local community college or high school, and see if they will change it for free as a project. You might bring in donuts as a sort of tip for doing the work, or ask the teacher if they might need something for the class, like a new torque wrench (these can run upwards of $100) or special tool.
You can check places like SummitRacing.com for torque converters. Just make sure that you are getting the right kind. The kind for a car - especially a race ready car is high stall speed, such as 2,300 RPM before it locks up, to let the engine rev high before moving the car at high speed. You want something with a much lower lock up, say 900 RPM for a truck. THey sell both, just call to make sure you are getting the best one for your application.

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a
Porsche or Country Coach!
If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!
I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
